The Different Types of Electric Cars
 Autonomous park-and-charge:
 Volkswagen, in collaboration with six partners, is developing an EU research
project that is focused on automating the parking and charging of electric
vehicles. The objective of this project is to develop a smart car system that
allows for autonomous driving in designated areas (e.g. valet parking, park and
ride) and can offer advanced driver support in urban environments. Tesla has
shown interest in making an arm that automatically charges their vehicles.

Other methods of energy storage:

 Experimental supercapacitors and flywheel energy storage devices offer
comparable storage capacity, faster charging, and lower volatility. They have
the potential to overtake batteries as the preferred rechargeable storage for
EVs. The FIA included their use in its sporting regulations of energy systems for
Formula One race vehicles in 2007 (for supercapacitors) and 2009 (for flywheel
energy storage devices).
 Charging station:
 Battery electric vehicles are most commonly charged from the power grid
overnight at the owner's house, provided they have their own charging station.
The electricity on the grid is in turn generated from a variety of sources; such as
coal, hydroelectricity, nuclear and others. Power sources such as photovoltaic
solar cell panels, micro hydro or wind may also be used and are promoted
because of concerns regarding global warming.

 Electric cars better for the environment:

 The major benefit of electric cars is the contribution that they can make towards improving air quality in towns
and cities. With no tailpipe, pure electric cars produce no carbon dioxide emissions when driving. This reduces
air pollution considerably. Put simply, electric cars give us cleaner streets making our towns and cities a better
place to be for pedestrians and cyclists. Over a year, just one electric car on the roads can save an average 1.5
million grams of CO2. That’s the equivalent of four return flights from London to Barcelona.

 According to the Mayor of London, road transport accounts for around half of the capital's air pollution. It’s no
wonder that the UK government and local councils want to accelerate the number of electric cars on the roads.
The UK government has set a target that the sale of petrol and diesel cars will be banned by 2040.

 Electric cars can also help with noise pollution, especially in cities where speeds are generally low. As the cars
are far quieter than conventional vehicles, driving electric creates a more peaceful environment for us all.
 The future of electric cars

 In Germany, the German government is actively looking at a complete move from

diesel and gasoline to electric in the not too distant future.

 France and the UK already plan to ban all sales of petrol and diesel cars by 2040.

 Denmark now has more electric car charging docks than petrol stations.

 Italy has exempted electric vehicles from the annual circulation tax or ownership
tax for five years from the date of their first registration.
 The benefits of buying an electric car

 There are plenty of reasons why someone would want to buy an electric car. One of
the most prominent is the environment. While electric cars are still only as green as
the electricity used to power it, they are still far better for the planet than
conventional cars. They generate fewer emissions and are more efficient – 95% of the
energy generated by an electric car is put into motion, whereas the internal
combustion engine is only 30% efficient – the rest of the energy being lost as heat or
noise.
 Electric cars and the environment

Electric cars are ever more appealing in a world where reducing carbon
emissions and pollution is a growing concern for many people. Research has
shown that electric cars are better for the environment. They emit less
greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their life than a petrol or diesel car.
This is even after the production of the vehicle and the generation of the
electricity required to fuel them is considered.

Since interest in electric cars is growing all the time, there are many questions
about how green and clean they really are. From manufacturing concerns to the
way in which electricity is generated, we look at some of the facts surrounding
electric cars and their environmental impact.
